Aaron Nola Likely to Start Potential Game 3 for Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola is lined up to start a potential Game 3 of the wild-card series against Atlanta on Thursday, according to reports. While Zack Wheeler would be available out of the bullpen on three days' rest, the Phillies are expected to turn to Nola on normal rest first if they force a winner-take-all contest. Nola finished the regular season strong, collecting a 2.93 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 61.1 innings across his final 11 starts.
